'Waterboard Hillary!' Rubio laughs it off

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina — When Marco Rubio vowed to keep the Guantanamo Bay prison open if he becomes president, a man in the crowd piped up with a suggestion: "Waterboard Hillary!"

The standing-room-only crowd at a campaign rally laughed in approval, and Rubio played along.

"I don’t want to know what he said .. the press is here," Rubio joked. "I didn't hear what they said," he added with a shrug. "I know it wasn’t a bad word, that’s all that matters."

Just before, the son of Cuban immigrants told the audience that terror detainees "are not coming" to South Carolina. "This is a message to the Cuban government and anyone who’s listening: We’re keeping Guantanamo forever. We’re keeping it forever. It’s a good base."
